Experiencing a story read out loud is one of the oldest forms of entertainment there is. Fireside Reading is a way to slow down, reconnect with the timeless wisdom of great books and rediscover the simple pleasure of being read to. Join Gildart Jackson in front of a cozy fire as he reads The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffman to you and your family.

Sampled several versions of “The Nutcracker and The Mouse King” that are available on Audible, and this by far is the best. The narrator’s performance is wonderful and it felt like I was right next to the fireside with him as he read the story. The introduction at the beginning provided enlightening context but unlike most audiobooks I’ve heard, is not a rigidly structured segment but more like a discussion the narrator is having with the audience that flows right into the story - i.e. more informal. I really liked that touch as it reinforced the spirit of the “fireside reading”. Will definitely listen to this again!
